Re: msp3400 problem in linux-3.7.0

[Benjamin Schindler <beschindler@gmail.com>]

I just tried to apply the patch, but it does not apply cleanly:

metis linux # patch -p1 < /home/benjamin/Downloads/bttv-patch.txt
patching file drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2007.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 2024.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 4269 with fuzz 2 (offset 34 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 4414 (offset 34 lines).
2 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file 
drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttv-driver.c.rej
patching file drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/bttvp.h

I then tried applying it manually, which I think worked. But it did not 
fix the problem. Given that the patch did not apply cleanly, may be I 
should either use the media git tree or wait for 3.10.

I just realized that this was on a 3.7.10 kernel (not 3.7.0, but that 
probably does not make much of a difference)
